**NEED HELP WITH m3 MIRRORS!!**
Ok. So this is really a b1tch to install.
I have the mirrors on, now the wiring.
I know that the blue goes to the parking lamp, the white goes to the signal lamp, and the black is ground.
BUT.....there are multiple wires in each?!?! Which wire do I tap it to? God, I hate this ****!!!

I did get it back! yay!
but........
first I took apart the pasenger side little speaker thing, and could not get the wires to budge for some reason.
then I went and looked at the drivers side. I got the factory plug out, and saw the factory wires again. 2 blue, one with a black stripe and and with a wite stripe. and one other solid color wire - but I cant remember what color, black or white or red or somthing... anyway, I pulled that oem plue out and saw the the black wire loom around it and wondered where the heck the wires are taped into..., I pulled it to the point I saw some black ele tape, and it looked like it was coming unstuck from all the tugging, so I tryed on the wires from the mirror, and they ony seem to go so far. those wires seemd so long before they were in the car!!! then I tryed to kinda pull back the door panel, w/o tools of course, and it wouldent really cooperate either. while I had everything pulled out like that I did my darndest to look down inside there, but I couldent see anything. I really did try too.
I could go give it another shot, but I think stuff would still be stuck! like I have stated before, Im scared of breaking stuff. I could go take a pic if it would help any, but I think I got out all the usless info out in my rant here.... wouldent some guy at Honda know? at the one that I always go to at least there is one guy that does most of the wiring and stuff, so hes prolly kinda smart about those things, maybe he could help...?
oh, also when I was out there messing around I noticed that inside the mirror part, behind the mirror itself, there is some metal piece that is totally rusted, I can take a pic of that for you to if you want. now that I noticed that Im kinda worried about how they are going to hold up in the winter or wetter months, just thought Id maybe give you soem warning, I dunno if itll be a problem tho, since the mirrors still do work.
damn this post is long.....
